Services

What It Is:
Strategic guidance for companies entering or navigating the 3GPP standardization process. Santosh identifies open issues in upcoming RAN WG1 meetings, drafts technically sound contributions backed by simulation results, and advises on positioning to maximize acceptance probability.

Why It Matters:
3GPP standards are the rulebook for the global telecommunications industry. Companies that influence the rules gain a competitive edge. Those who don't, follow. Santosh helps you become a rule-maker, not a rule-follower.

Who Needs This:
Telecom OEMs, chipset vendors, non-member IoT startups, government agencies, and regulatory bodies.

What You Get:

• Strategic roadmap of upcoming meeting agenda and open issues

• Full contribution draft with simulation results

• Positioning strategy for maximum acceptance probability

• Insider knowledge of 3GPP's political dynamics and timing

Investment: $$$ per contribution; $$$/month retainer

What It Is:
Analyzing patents to determine if they are "standard-essential" for 5G NR, Ambient IoT, or other 3GPP technologies. Santosh provides clause-by-clause mapping of patent claims to 3GPP Technical Specifications with human-verified essentiality opinions.

Why It Matters:
In the multi-billion dollar SEP licensing ecosystem, essentiality is everything. Companies need to know if they infringe, if they can license, and if their own patents are essential. Santosh's analysis provides the clarity you need.

Who Needs This:
Patent law firms, companies in FRAND disputes, licensing agencies, and patent portfolio holders.

What You Get:

• Clause-by-clause mapping of claims to TS 38.xxx sections

• Essentiality score with supporting rationale

• Strategic recommendations on licensing/defensive positioning

• Insights from someone who holds 5 granted patents himself

Investment: $$$ per patent analysis

What It Is:
Comprehensive prior art searches across 100M+ patents, followed by a human-vetted opinion on novelty, patentability, and filing strategy. AI does the heavy lifting; Santosh provides the judgment.

Why It Matters:
AI patent search tools can find needles in haystacks—but they can't tell you if the needle is truly novel. Santosh can. His 5 granted patents prove he understands what examiners look for.

Who Needs This:
Startups, patent attorneys, corporate R&D teams, and IP law firms.

What You Get:

• AI-generated prior art summary with similarity scores

• Expert opinion on novelty and potential rejections

• Filing strategy recommendations

• Confidence that you're filing a defensible application

Investment: $$$ per search/opinion

What It Is:
Generating patent applications from invention disclosures, reviewing for 35 USC 112 compliance, technical accuracy, and strategic strength. Santosh delivers filing-ready applications that survive examiner scrutiny.

Why It Matters:
A poorly drafted patent is worse than no patent. It costs money, creates false confidence, and fails when challenged. Santosh's track record—5 granted US patents—proves he knows what works.

Who Needs This:
Deep-tech startups, IP law firms, corporate IP departments, and innovation consultancies.

What You Get:

• Drafted specification, claims, abstract, and diagrams

• 35 USC 112 compliance check

• Technical refinement to maximize claim breadth

• Examiner-ready applications

Investment: $1,500–$3,500 per draft/review

What It Is:
Custom MATLAB simulation modules for OTFS modulation, MIMO channel estimation, high-Doppler scenarios, and system-level link analysis. Production-ready code with documentation and performance analysis.

Why It Matters:
OTFS is a leading candidate waveform for 6G and V2X applications. Companies and researchers need simulation expertise to test algorithms before committing to silicon. Santosh's simulations have powered publications in IEEE TWC, TVT, and IoT Journal.

Who Needs This:
University researchers, R&D teams without simulation expertise, hardware startups, and telecom labs.

What You Get:

• Production-ready MATLAB scripts with documentation

• Performance analysis and benchmarking

• Algorithm optimization recommendations

• The same quality that powered SRI-B's Uplink System Simulator

Investment: $1,500–$4,000 per project

What It Is:
Technically accurate, accessible white papers on 5G/6G topics that establish thought leadership and communicate complex technology to non-technical audiences.

Why It Matters:
Investors, partners, and customers need to understand your technology. Most engineers can't explain it. Most marketers don't understand it. Santosh bridges that gap.

Who Needs This:
Telecom startups, consulting firms, VC firms, and industry associations.

What You Get:

• 1,500–3,000 word white paper or article

• Technical depth with accessible language

• Visual/figures support

• Insider insights from a 3GPP and ITU member

Investment: $1,500–$3,000 per white paper

What It Is:
Technical due diligence on wireless startups for VC firms and M&A teams—analyzing patent portfolios, technical claims, standardization positioning, and market viability.

Why It Matters:
Venture capital and private equity firms invest billions in telecom. They need to know what they're buying. Santosh's expertise ensures you don't miss the technical risks.

Who Needs This:
Venture capital firms, private equity firms, corporate M&A teams, and infrastructure funds.

What You Get:

• 5–10 page due diligence report

• Technical risk assessment

• Patent strength analysis

• Standardization positioning review

Investment: $3,000–$6,000 per engagement

What It Is:
Analyzing products or prototypes against current 3GPP releases to identify compliance gaps, provide implementation guidance, and help align with evolving standards.

Why It Matters:
Regulatory compliance is not optional. Companies entering the 5G/IoT market need to ensure their products meet standards to avoid costly redesigns and market delays.

Who Needs This:
IoT hardware manufacturers, chipset developers, Open RAN vendors, and network equipment providers.

What You Get:

• Gap assessment against 3GPP TS 38.xxx

• Prioritized implementation roadmap

• Ongoing advisory support

• Insights from an active 3GPP member

Investment: $2,500–$6,000 per project

What It Is:
Building, prioritizing, and managing wireless patent portfolios—identifying strategic filing opportunities, optimizing claim scope, and aligning IP with market and standardization trends.

Why It Matters:
A patent portfolio is more than a collection of filings. It's a strategic asset. Santosh helps you build a portfolio that defends, monetizes, and positions you for the future.

Who Needs This:
Growing telecom startups, SMEs entering the wireless space, and corporate IP departments.

What You Get:

• Portfolio gap analysis

• Strategic filing roadmap

• Competitor portfolio benchmarking

• Insights from someone who has navigated the USPTO process successfully

Investment: $2,500–$5,000 per assessment

What It Is:
Ongoing strategic technical advisory for telecom startups—covering technology roadmap, IP strategy, hiring, and investor due diligence support.

Why It Matters:
Startups in 5G, Open RAN, V2X, and IoT need technical leadership but can't afford a full-time CTO. Santosh fills that gap with flexible, high-impact advisory.
